Just pulled the trigger on a Fender American Vintage II 1961 Stratocaster and a Les Paul Standard '60s in Bourbon Burst. Really, really looking forward to getting these. OK a tangent I read an article yesterday where Les Paul had said he almost partnered with Leo Fender! I saw that, too! |

Not gear, really, but searching not seeing much discussion on it here with attending in person. Headed to France at the end of the month with Nick (Bat Lanyard) for the MWTM Tony Hoffer session at La Fabrique. Super pumped. Now, just have to figure out how to do proper stems for this with my hybrid setup, lol! We're both staying onsite. I'll report back with some photos and reflections, but Tony Hoffer's work touches so many of the things I'm trying to do engineering and production wise. Can't wait to be in person and hear some of his work in detail, then sit and run through a Bat Lanyard tune or two and get feedback. Will be interesting to hear other attendees' work as well. Uploading a couple of new ones that we're working on now to their session site and excited to see what comes of the week, much less the whole vacation and cultural immersion of it all. Hopefully, the Olympic prep won't be a bear but staying in near the hub of the city for a night before taking the train the next morning to Avignon where we'll be picked up to head to La Fabrique. Should be an amazing trip. Enjoy the trip, I just woke up in Cassis on the second day of a trip through the South of France, headed to Hyeres this afternoon, though mine is to get away from mixing! |

I finally caved and bought a U67 reissue yesterday. I have wanted one since the first time I used one, a few years ago. The local gear pimp's having a mic sale this week, and all the stars aligned.

Finally found a decent condition Advanced Audio CM-28 pair for sale, been waiting for AA to start making them again but now I don’t need to :-) …. Also starting to think they won’t.
I’ll likely be selling a single CM-28 if anybody’s interested (had that one for a while, decided a pair is preferred since I like stereo).

UA Curve Bender plug, really like it on mixbus…even when running through my hardware AS pultecs, it ads something really nice even on top of those. Honestly, never had it on my radar but had some UA coupons and wasn’t sure what I wanted since I thought I had everything I wanted already…so was looking through online reviews and found a really good one on this plug from Tapeop.
Still saving for a matched pair of RS660’s…will def post here once I can get them!

And that they'd met up originally, by accident.  |

I bought a Laney Cub Super 12 yesterday. I already have a Deluxe Reverb but I wanted something small for recording that could give me a bit more breakup without pedals. I watched way too many YouTube videos and felt it was the right sound for me.
Originally, I was going to pick up a Tonex. But, sometimes we are just working fast and I don't feel like messing with software and menus. I just want to toss a mic on an amp and press record.
Hopefully it will work out. Should be here in a few days.

And that they'd met up originally, by accident. Leo tried. CBS/Fenders new management dragged their heels, patent license expired. They eventually did put them out in 96'. Heavy boat anchors though.
I have 3 guitars with Glaser Benders myself, installed by Joe Glaser. I bet it would have been quite a history had Fender put them out in the 70s.
I better mention new gear - got myself a new RAM4 cartridge for the Yamaha DX7.

A couple of Fenders in an auction: a 2016 Jazzmaster and a 1999 Jazz bass.

Got the Moog Spectravox but quickly returned it. Cool box on paper and there are some interesting sounds but in practice, wasn't nearly as smooth as I hoped. Vocoder kind of sucks but the two line / carrier inputs are also weird and blow up way too early. Didn't care to find out if my unit was defective but safe to say, I probably won't buy another inMusic era Moog product again. A real shame since I loved everything they were doing before the acquisition.

Just ordered a new Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6k full frame. B&H had them for $1000 off for the past month or so, ending last night. At the last minute, I just couldn't resist.

Ordered two ADT Olympic MicEQ modules! Been on the wait list for years, and really fell in love after I heard what bricejchandler was doing with them. |

Sigh...a new hard drive, probably to be followed by a 2nd to clone the 1st, because one of my main backups was starting to chirp last time I used it.
The SATA monitoring says it's still healthy, but once those noises show up I don't like to take chances.
The punchline being that it's coming out of the funds that were being saved up as part of the Black Friday budget. Easy come, easy go.

HudsonicOn GS, you mentioned that you bought the new Lewitt tube mic several months ago. Any thoughts you want to share over here?

Iron Age V2 has arrived. Cheers, Geoff Your thoughts will be, very much, appreciated! Will do. Might be a bit. Have some decisions to make on how this is gonna get used. Tracking and mixing? Just mix? I have to make some room in the rack. Etc. Plus I am just a weekend warrior and have been so for a bunch of decades. Plus my ears, and the rest of me, are 60. And Josh did a nice video review of the V2. All that said I will give my impression after I have had a bit of time with it. Definitely looking forward to seeing and hearing what it can do. Cheers, Geoff |
